Abstract
Probiotics exert beneficial effects on their host health by creating microbial balance in the digestive system. The role of some probiotic strains in strengthening the immune system and reducing the risk of diseases, especially respiratory infections, has been proven in previous studies. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of probiotic supplementation containing Bacillus coagulans on the Runner athletes immune system. In this study, the effect of Bacillus coagulans probiotic on immunoglobulins A, M and monocytes count 60 male athlete sprints Evaluates that which were randomly divided into two groups of 30.For 3 months, the experimental group received a daily glass of probiotic juice containing 109 cfu / ml containing probiotic supplement and the control group received plain and no supplemental juice. During the study period, once every 2 weeks, One day after exercise (running 200 meters), blood samples were taken from all participants Then In the collected samples, IgA, IgM and lymphocytes were evaluated. Consumption of probiotic juice containing 2 × 109 f cfu/ml Bacillus coagulans probiotic supplement showed a significant difference in the amount of IgA, IgM and Lymphocyte between the experimental group and the control group. The results of this study showed that the consumption of juice containing probiotic supplement Bacillus coagulans can increase the level of immune factors IgM, IgA, lymphocytes and prevent the occurrence of diseases, especially respiratory infections, by improving the function of the immune system.
Highlights
Hard and under pressure training combined with stress caused by attending various competitions by reducing the physical and mental strength of individualsFunctional Foods - Phytochemicals and Health Promoting Potential causes dysfunction in the immune system of professional athletes
With increasing probiotic supplementation time, the experimental group had a significant increase in the levels of immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin M and lymphocytes compared to the control group, That was arrangement it immunoglobulins A (IgA) (258 vs. 233 ug/dL) (Figure 1), IgM (159 vs. 133 ug/dl)
There was a significant reduction in the incidence of respiratory infections among the supplement group compared to the control group. Athletes due to their readiness for various competitions endure a lot of physical and psychological stress.These tensions can lead to decreased immune system function and the development of multiple infections
Summary
Hard and under pressure training combined with stress caused by attending various competitions by reducing the physical and mental strength of individualsFunctional Foods - Phytochemicals and Health Promoting Potential causes dysfunction in the immune system of professional athletes. Many studies have shown the benefits of probiotics such as reducing toxins, increasing immunity and resistance to infections, production of vitamins and nutrients, production of organic acids, reduction of allergic reactions and respiratory infections, arthritis and modulation of immune responses. Decreased physical performance and immune system strength following chronic fatigue in athletes who exercise intensively has been proven in many studies. Increasing the level of immunity and reducing the risk of disease in athletes, in addition to Increase their performance, will reduce treatment costs and improving immune function [13–19], so in this study, the effect of consumption of probiotic juice of Bacillus coagulans on the level of some immune system factors such as IgA IgM and lymphocyte Has been studied
